Title: Improvements in or relating to automatic or semi-automatic telephone systems
IPC: H04M3/12
Filed: 1925-12-08
Abstract: 264,979. Coventry Automatic Telephones, Ltd., and Puckette, C. C. Dec. 8, 1925. Automatic exchange systems. - Means are provided for busying a switch and either disconnecting or reducing the current through the release magnet, should the switch fail to release within a predetermined time from the energization of the release magnet. Earth on the lead 8 energizes the release magnet 1 through the offnormal springs 7, and also a thermostat 4, 6 through the contacts 10, 5. If the switch does not return to normal within a predetermined period, the bimetallic strip 4 breaks the contact 5 so that a relay 2 energizes. If the switch is of the type having a locking device to ensure release once the release magnet has been operated, the opening of the contact 9 cuts out the magnet 1; if the release magnet must remain operated until the switch returns to normal, the. contact is bridged by a resistance to cut down the current in the magnet to prevent overheating. The relay 2 also earths the private wire to busy the switch, and may operate an alarm. The relay 2 may also cut out the winding of the thermostat. Should the switch ultimately release, springs 7 will open the circuit of relay 2, and the switch will return to normal. The relay 2 and the thermostat may be combined to make a single mounting unit.

In one embodiment Fig. 3 the backrest 3 is pivoted at 5 to a seat frame bracket 6. Each stay 17 is of L-shaped form and is also pivoted, at 7, to the bracket 6. A rack 16 on the stay meshes with wheel 13 supported by the backrest, the stay being constrained to stay in mesh with the wheel by sliding in a saddle 18 pivotally secured to the backrest. Wheel 13 is driven by a hand wheel 10 via gearing 11, 12, the hand wheel shaft 10a being used to inter-connect the identical systems on each side of the seat. Due to the gear ratio the adjuster is self locking, but a friction pad 19 on the wheel 11 may engage the backrest. A spring may be used to bias the friction pad, which spring-bias may be removed by an axial movement of the hand wheel or a plunger. In an accident sudden tension on the stay 17 will cause straightening of weakened portion 22 resulting in engagement of the rack with abutment 23 to provide a positive lock.  In an alternative embodiment, Fig. 4, each stay comprises a pair of side plates 27 pivoted at 7 to bracket 6, the plates 27 supporting an internally threaded worm-wheel 30 which engages the threaded rail 26. An eye on the rod is pivoted to bracket 25. The worm-wheel is driven by a worm 31 supported by ears 32 of plates 27, and the hand wheel shaft 10a once again inter-connects the identical devices on both sides of the seat. In this embodiment the gear ratio between worm and wheel, and wheel and rod are both self locking and no further emergency locking is necessary.
